We look forward to seeing everyone and enjoying time in the prairie. As in the past, we will be providing lunch with snacks and drinks as a thank you for your help. Please bring gloves, paper bags to collect seed, and hand clippers. If you don’t have those items, we can provide them at the event for your use.
